Chaos engulfs Trump loyalist's group as even right-wing 'kook heaven' abandons him: report

Retired Gen. Michael Flynn's conservative nonprofit America's Future is engulfed in chaos as a wave of prominent figures abruptly quit its anti-trafficking arm and offered only cryptic clues about what tore the group apart, according to reporting by The Bulwark's Will Sommer.Flynn, who briefly served as Donald Trump's national security adviser before being pardoned for lying to the FBI, took over the storied group in 2021. As Sommer documents, Flynn stocked the organization with fringe activists. Its Project Defend Protect Our Children advisory board included Pizzagate promoter Liz Crokin and conspiracy theorist Lara Logan, the former CBS News reporter. The group screened QAnon-themed films at Mar-a-Lago events.It was kook heaven! proclaimed Sommer. But it was hardly paradise.Then, this month, the exits began. On June 9, activist Lynz Piper-Loomis revealed she had resigned a month earlier, teasing that she might speak more on this later and nodding to her book titled I Am Silent No More. Crokin announced her own June 8 resignation days later, claiming she had receipts and insisting the feud was not f---ing Kayfabe, a reference to fabricated pro wrestling. Lawyer Ben Moore quit June 11, signing off as a QAnon-style digital soldier — a term coined by Flynn's online following.Crokin's exit appeared to blindside Flynn's son, Michael Flynn Jr., who replied simply: ???The cause remains unclear. Pro-Trump activist Angela Stanton King, who stayed loyal to Flynn, attributed the fighting to a drunk night between grown adults and personal shit unrelated to the organization. Crokin, in her sole comment to Sommer, denied King's characterization.The fallout has disillusioned at least one former supporter. Sam Moore, brother of Ben Moore, unloaded on X, calling his years of involvement a total mind f--- and accusing Flynn's family of running their sinking ship.
